Jimmy	Dear all Is there a general tool for simulate tango device writed in c++ ? In development environment, we don't have all hardware(e.g. ccd, step moter, oscilloscope, PLC, …) to run system, so i have to simulate tango device, is there a general solution? Many thanks for your help

Andy	Hi, I am only aware of a generic tool for simulation in Python: https://github.com/ska-sa/tango-simlib The library was presented at the Tango meeting last week by Lize. You can find all the talks here: https://www.ict.inaf.it/indico/event/514/other-view?view=standard Cheers Andy

Lize	Hi Jimmy The tango-simlib package is written in Python, but can simulate any device. It is under development and we can help you to get going and expand it to your needs as necessary. The developers are here on the Tango forum (neilen,kellerman,javas), but I do not know how to reference them directly in this message. Best regards Lize

Hi Jimmy FYI: The library is also available on PYPI, you can just pip install tango-simlib Or otherwise we just merged a PR that solves your issue. The requirement file is not required anymore, all mandatory requirements are included in the setup.py file (this excludes katcore and katproxy). Go ahead and perform the installation. Feel free to keep in contact if you experience any hurdles. Best regards Javas Edited 7 years ago

kmadisa47	Hi Jimmy, We don't really need those two packages to install the tango-simlib package. They have been removed from the pip-build-requirements.txt file. Please do a git pull to update your master branch to get the new changes. Kind regards, K. Madisa
